As we teased in our latest post, IGN has picked up our Official Release Date Trailer as an exclusive for the live show they hosted as part of Gamescom.

Watching our game trailer live on such a prestigious event was a blast, and now it is time to share it with all our players and followers!

It's been a while since we've attended a game show but we are finally back in the - alas virtual - saddle! With none other than DreamHack, in fact. It's a gaming event that we have loved ever since our trip to showcase Vagrus at DH Summer in Sweden back in 2019.

DreamHack Beyond was held between July 24 and July 31 as a fully digital event. What made it unique was that they created an actually video game that you could log into, pick your avatar, and walk around in a world reminiscent of Rick and Morty's. We as developers were invited to participate in the event by customizing our virtual game console so that visitors could walk up and interact with it on the virtual show floor.

Oh, wow!

Check out the amazing ReformistTM playing our narrative-heavy strategy RPG #Vagrus in his Pure First Impressions video!

Great voice acting & professional commentary! Hope to watch him continue his journey!

What is this 'Dissonance Mode', you ask? Essentially, it is a game mode you can select when starting a new game and that shifts the experience toward a more narrative route, easing up on the management and combat mechanics to transform Vagrus into more of a visual novel for those that find the challenge too taxing.

In this video, we decided to showcase how Mercenary Tasks work from beginning to end, starting with accepting Tasks, then finding its destination, fighting against the opponents there, and finally turning it in. Tasks are procedurally generated (within certain confines) and so you will see a lot of variation while adventuring as a mercenary company.

Have you read the post about the brand new Hirelings coming with the next build? Well, now you don't have to! Or at least you can watch this short video to see what these mercenary allies bring to the table.

Hey there, vagabonds of the wasteland! We wanted to drop this short video of the Faction rewards here to give you an idea of what to expect. Fabulous treasures, useful equipment, and even magic items, not to mention persistent buffs to make your life in the Realms easier.

This short video was made to give you a rough idea how the new comitatus equipment screen and system were changed for the next build. Categories have been revamped, with new ones added into the mix. Deputies have an impact as well, opening up new slots when assigned.

Fellow vagri! In this video, we touch upon one of the (many) improvements we have added to Companion combat: diminishing returns. In essence, Block and Evade will receive stacking penalties with each successful use. This will prevent some enemies to endlessly avoid damage (as well as players to abuse buffs, heh), drawing out some fights too drastically.

This time, we bring you a little teaser about the next area we are about to add to Vagrus, namely the twin salt basins north of the Crimson Gate and the Hills of Plenty. It includes - among other things - the town of Salum, where the Dragonlands is in control of a faltering salt mining operation and seems to be oblivious to certain issues surrounding it. Is someone hiding something? You'll have to dig deeper to find out. Or just harvest salt and try to get rich in the process.
